Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year and thank you to all those who have joined for a zoom yoga class and donated. I have also matched those donations and today have donated £256.98 to Cancer Research UK, with gift aid that amount increases to just over £320 :-)

A festive feel to my zoom yoga space 🎄Christmas tree lights on or off for zoom ? 😂

So I don't teach any regular or weekly classes but I do provide cover for other yoga teachers who may be ill or on holiday. From next week, I am covering for Yoga Sapien on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the Kendal Yoga Space at Mapdec Cycle Works, until Christmas. If anyone is local and would like to drop in, you can book a place on Mapdec's TeamUp page.

As winter approaches, online zoom yoga starts again next week.

Typically 2 classes a week, bookable on eventbrite, classes are free but you can donate via ko-fi, and all proceeds after commissions etc, will be donated to Cancer Research UK.

Yoga at Yewfield, one of my favourite yoga spaces

Another Yoga Hikes weekend :-)

Yoga Hikes In A Day 🥾🧘‍♀️

Another Yoga Hikes weekend to mark International Yoga Day and Summer Solstice last week. A great weekend based at Glaramara Hotel in the stunning Borrowdale valley, we were even lucky dodging the worst of the weather, waterproofs on for about 30minutes. Other highlights included the amazing food, a really friendly and easy going group and even a red squirrel outside our yoga room 😊

And even the sun has come out 🌞

Last zoom of this winter block this morning.
Thank you to everyone who has joined classes and practised yoga with me online. Great to have been able to get you moving in the mornings and winding down in the evenings on the mat. Hope to start zoom again when the days get dark and cold again later in the year

As the signs of Spring are emerging, we are now almost at the end of zoom yoga to see us through the darkest months. Two more classes to go ; tomorrow Friday 17th at 6pm and Thursday 23rd at 8am so please book your space.
If you do have any unused classes on purchased class packs I will refund these back to you via stripe.

If you fancy a chilled out yoga practice at home tomorrow evening, join me on the mat at 6pm. Pets/candles/cosy socks/log fires optional 🧘‍♀️

Remember there is a FREE yoga class this Saturday morning for an hour, starting at 830am. A little thank you to all those whom have joined Kevin and myself on a Yoga Hikes weekend 🙂 Please feel free to share with anyone who you think could do with a little yoga in their lives right now.

I also received this thank you card last week from someone whom I have taught for the last couple of years. Karma in action 🧘‍♀️

Why yoga at home is simple, fun and rewarding Push back the sofa and roll out your mat for Hatha yoga sessions in your front room, says Lucy Greeves

Yoga Spaces
Am fortunate to teach in some amazing yoga spaces which add to the experience of any yoga practice. Spot the slightly ‘odd’ one out 😊

Yoga & Strength, interesting common sense article. Very valid points made - as we get older we do need to focus on some specific strength work as well as keeping our bodies mobile 😊

Yoga for strength We talk through the benefits of strength training and whether yoga is effective for building muscle on its own.

Great post for International Women's Day - rare photo of me teaching :-)

First Yoga Hikes weekend of 2022 at Yewfield now done.
Could not have wished for better weather and one of my favourite yoga spaces at Yewfield. After 5 yoga classes and 2 hikes, now at home resting 😀

Another Yoga Hikes weekend, this time at Glaramara in Borrowdale. First group to use the newly refurbished Village Institute, great yoga space with views out to sheep, goats, ducks to accompany our practice
